I was running errands on a wet, chilly day and wanted something hot. I found a nearby Cortado Cafe…read moreand stopped in. The service was friendly and fast. The nice lady working the counter suggested a hot turmeric chai latte. It was delicious without a strong turmeric taste. My food order included a plain bagel with lox and cream cheese and an acai bowl. They included a free slice of bread with Nutella. The bagel was soft and chewy. The acai bowl was also delicious. The space is nice, clean, and comfortable. Parking is ample, but the shopping center can get congested. Overall, Cortado Cafe is a great local coffee shop.

Cortado Cafe is a crepe lover's dream!…read more We stopped in for brunch and ordered both a sweet and savory crepe, along with an Americano and Havana cortado. Everything came out beautifully presented, and the portions were definitely generous. The strawberry banana crepe was the showstopper. The crepe itself was thin, tender, and nicely folded, then absolutely loaded with fresh strawberries and bananas, a generous drizzle of chocolate, and a dusting of powdered sugar. The two clouds of whipped cream on the side made it even more indulgent. This is definitely a dessert-for-breakfast situation, rich and sweet, but the fresh fruit keeps it from feeling completely over the top. Easily shareable if you're ordering other food. I went savory with the Norwegian crepe, and it provided a great contrast. The delicate crepe was filled with smoked salmon and finished with a fresh pile of arugula, colorful tomatoes and pickled red onions. I especially liked the combination of the smoky, salty salmon with the peppery greens and acidity from the onions. It felt fresh and substantial without being heavy, exactly what I want from a brunch entrée. For coffee, the Americano was straightforward and well executed: hot, smooth, robust and pleasantly uncomplicated. No syrups or distractions necessary. If you appreciate espresso, this is the one to order. The Havana cortado, on the other hand, was the fun one. Creamy, frothy and topped with a very generous layer of cinnamon, it leaned more decadent and aromatic. The cinnamon hits you before the first sip, and the creamy coffee underneath makes it feel almost like a brunch treat of its own. If you're choosing between the two, I'd go Americano for bold and classic, Havana for creamy and indulgent. One detail I appreciated: the cafe designates tables as "laptop free" between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. I actually love this during the busy brunch window. It helps keep tables available for people who are there to eat and encourages the cafe to feel like a social space rather than a coworking office. Overall, Cortado Cafe delivered on both sides of the menu: beautiful sweet crepes, thoughtfully composed savory options, and coffee worth lingering over. Come hungry, these aren't dainty little crepes!

I had a wonderful experience at First Watch in Alexandria. Our waiter, Christian, was incredibly…read morehelpful, funny and attentive. He really made the meal feel special. The food was outstanding, especially the Million Dollar Potatoes and Million Dollar Bacon, both are absolutely to die for! Portions are generous, and everything came out quickly, which made the service feel seamless. The ambience is pleasant and welcoming, though I will say it was a bit noisy, so if romance is what you're looking for this may not be the spot. Still, the overall vibe is lively and enjoyable. With great food, quick service, and plenty to eat, I'll definitely be coming back again.

Can't go wrong upgraidng your potatoes with the million dollar potatoes adding cheese and bacon to it.

I ordered one so I could have it as a little dessert for lunch later and it was incredible. I could eat 87 of those cookies.

I came upon learning about Grandma's Famous Cafe in 2023 in the search of a breakfast burrito, yet never went to the cafe until this year. It did not disappoint in the breakfast burrito department. My husband loved his burrito . I had pupusas for the first time. I tried the one with loroco (flowers) and another kind with pork & cheese. Not exactly my cup of tea but I ate half of each one. The service was good. I liked the low prices for the food. The burrito was delicious. The mix of American, Mexican, and South American food on the menu was a delight. The cafe is tiny yet welcoming and easy to find. I liked the live plants placed everywhere in the cafe. I would definitely come back here again for a cheeseburger, omelet, or burrito.

I requested real Half n' Half for the coffee - which they will provide if requested. Otherwise - you'll be using the chemical creamers that sit on the table. Food was delicious. The hash includes roasted peppers, onions, potatoes, avocado, bacon, two cheeses - and two eggs - which I had over easy. Also comes with toast and strawberry jam. I had to add black pepper and hot sauce to the hash - because I love black pepper and hot sauces on hash! Service was good! I'd visit here again! Paid with Apple Pay. #FirstWatch

I…read morecalled the restaurant and the person who answered the phone was not helpful at all what so ever. She said it had been working for others we should just come in or keep trying. We arrived to the restaurant received a text our table was ready. We walked to the hostess station and were told, sorry, she is looking for a table for you. Then why the text? We ordered our food, the salmon Benedict's were below par in my opinion. There was not much salmon on there at all. One egg was hard boiled the other was soft boiled. They had no taste. It said it came with a side of greens instead I received a bunch of over salted cubed potatoes. They were cooked the way I like them crispy and golden brown. The coffee tasted burnt. The side biscuits we ordered were really good. Flaky on the outside and warm and fluffy inside. Two people in my party ordered a bowl, right now I just remember it had beans, red sauce and tortillas. The comments were, soggy tortillas and no taste. The other person ordered the biscuits and gravy. She said the texture of the gravy was like jello. Our waitress Helen did not check on us, had she checked on us she would have noticed we did not get our order of French toast we had also asked for. When she finally did bring the bill that's when we asked for more water, for her to remove the French toast and for a to go box. The restaurant is really packed in tight. The front waiting area to all the back to the seating. You're sitting on top of each other and it's very loud. They do have a QR code you can use to look at the menu items and pay your bill. I scanned the QR code to pay the bill and it was already figured in at 20% tip. 18, 20 and 30. The parking lot is hard to get around with all the cars and people. I just expected more from the reviews and ratings.
